State Street Landscaping Design GuidelinesPlanning Central

The goal of the State Street Landscaping Guidelines is to bring a sense of order and vision to future changes proposed for the State Street Plaza and to simplify the design review process for applicants. The Guidelines encompass a range of issues related to both the aesthetic nature of the street and the practical needs of property owners, merchants, residents of Santa Barbara and visitors. The overriding consideration of the Guidelines is to ensure that the continuing evolution of Santa Barbara’s most important and aesthetically rich street respects the established themes of the Plaza while responding to the changing needs of Santa Barbara’s citizens, businesses and visitors.
